With 15 years of his IT experience, Petr has developed low-level algorithms for hardware acceleration at Intel and led large teams in the fintech and banking sectors. For the past 6 years, Petr has delved into cryptography/blockchain, security solutions, and Infosec projects with a particular emphasis on Ethereum-based applications and Zero-Knowledge Cryptography (zkSNARKs).
Alongside his main tech work, Petr enjoys creating educational courses and contributing to open-source projects. He's also won more than 10 blockchain hackathons and received multiple grants from the Ethereum Foundation.
While being a co-founder of Matter Labs (known for zkSync - ZK Rollup scaling solution), Petr achieved successful fundraising and exit. This allowed him to fully dedicate himself to his own projects and passions. As a result, Petr later co-founded Oxorio, a firm specializing in smart contracts audits (including ZK), penetration testing, as well as R&D.
